Burnout affects more than energy levels or motivation. Over time, it reshapes how people interpret responsibility, carry guilt, and make sense of their work and calling. In this episode, we examine burnout through the lens of psychology and Scripture, focusing on the mind rather than the body.

Part 2 of this series explores how burnout becomes a crisis of meaning, why over-responsibility and identity fusion exhaust faithful people, and how unspoken expectations and maladaptive guilt make rest feel impossible. We also address why insight alone does not resolve burnout and why renewing the mind requires changes in structure, rhythm, and responsibility.

This conversation is designed for pastors, leaders, caregivers, and anyone who feels unable to stop—even when exhausted. Burnout is not a lack of devotion; it is often the result of faithful people carrying more than they were meant to carry.
